John FaIstaff Radcliff, of Ports
mouth, Ohio, writes to the Editor OF
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
as follows;
'sBofing for natural gas Should be
prohibited by stringent laws The
good people of Ohio and Indiana
while trying to develop the gasmag-
azines do not take time to consider
that they are toying with force
that may destroy this country and
themselves. The danger that i'm
ponds is well known to scientists.
Two hundred years ago in China
there was Just such craze about
natural gas as we have1in this couns
try to-dap. Gas wells were sunk
with as much vim and yigor as the
Celestials were capable of; but: ow-
ing to a gas explosion that killed
several millions of people and tore
up and destroyed large district of
country, leaving a large inland sea,
known on the maps as nLaIe Foo
Chang" the boring of any more gas
wells were prohibited by law. It
seems, according to Chinese history,
that many large and heavy pressure
gas wells were struck--larger, per-
haps, than aKarg Well'' at Findlay
in this State, and in some districts
wells were sunk quite near to each
other. Gas was lighted as soon as
struck as is done in this day. 1T is
stated that one we'll, with its unu-
sual pressure, by induction or back
draft, pulled down into the earth
the burning gas of smaller well,
resulting in dreadful explosion
and upheaval of large district, and
destroying the inhabitants thereof
Lake Foo Chang rests ON this dis
trict.
The same catastrophe is imminent
in this State unless the laws restrict
further developments in boring SO
many wells. Should similar ex-
plosion occur in this country there
viii be such an upheaval as will
dwarf the worst earthquake ever
known. The country along the gas
belt from Toledo through Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky, will be ripped
up to the depth of twelve to fifteen
hundred feet, and Topped over like
pancake, leaving chasm through
which the waters of Lake Erie will
come bowling down, filling the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys and blotting
them out forever. Some prompt &C
ton should be taken at once to pre-
vent this catastrophe. Governor
Foraker should call session of the
Legislature to enact restraining
laws. Indeed, President Cleveland
should call an extra session of Con-
gress to take some action to protect
this nation against destruction from
natural gas.
